Leaving LA - Live from the Hamburg Elbphilharmonie on August 8, 2019 |
I was living on the hill |
By the water tower and hiking trails |
And when the big one hit I’d have a seat |
To watch masters abandon their dogs and dogs run free |
Oh baby, it’s time to leave |
Take the van and the hearse down to New Orleans |
Leave under the gaze of the billboard queens |
Five-foot chicks with parted lips selling sweatshop jeans |
These L.A. phonies and their bullshit bands |
That sound like dollar signs and Amy Grant |
So reads the pull quote from my last cover piec |
Entitled «The Oldest Man in Folk Rock Spaks» |
You can hear it all over the airwaves |
The manufactured gasp of the final days |
Someone should tell them ‘bout the time that they don’t have |
To praise the glorious future and the hopeless past |
A few things the songwriter needs |
Arrows of love, a mask of tragedy |
But if you want ecstasy or birth control |
Just run the tap until the water’s cold |
Anything else you can get online |
A creation myth or a .45 |
You’re going to need one or the other to survive |
Where only the armed or the funny make it out alive |
